I thought it was necessary to post an unbiased “greatest moments” entry after seeing ESPN.com an attempt at doing the same (their list can be found here: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=games/decade/2009syracuseunconn). Their list unfortunately does not rank the games in order of their greatness and only lists 25 games/events. On the other hand, I have produced an my objectively-reasoned ranking of top 50 greatest sports moments of the 200os. It is slightly different than the ESPN one in that it looks at specific moments as opposed to the games as a whole. However, since most great sports moments come out of great games, the content will be similar. I made a pretty legendary ranking of the greatest moments in sports from 1980-2000, so hopefully this list will be just as good.
